2 Corinthians 2:1
But I determined this for my own sake, that I would not come to you in sorrow again.
2 Corinthians 2:2
For if I cause you sorrow, who then makes me glad but the one whom I made sorrowful?
2 Corinthians 2:3
This is the very thing I wrote you, so that when I came, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be the joy of you all.
2 Corinthians 2:4
For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not so that you would be made sorrowful, but that you might know the love which I have especially for you.
2 Corinthians 2:5
But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in some degree--in order not to say too much--to all of you.
2 Corinthians 2:6
Sufficient for such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority,
2 Corinthians 2:7
so that on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, otherwise such a one might be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
2 Corinthians 2:8
Wherefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.
2 Corinthians 2:9
For to this end also I wrote, so that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.
2 Corinthians 2:10
But one whom you forgive anything, I forgive also; for indeed what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, I did it for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
2 Corinthians 2:11
so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
2 Corinthians 2:12
Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ and when a door was opened for me in the Lord,
2 Corinthians 2:13
I had no rest for my spirit, not finding Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I went on to Macedonia.
2 Corinthians 2:14
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.
2 Corinthians 2:15
For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;
2 Corinthians 2:16
to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is adequate for these things?
2 Corinthians 2:17
For we are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God.
